Lenham Heath questions
Is Lenham Heath too small for a hog roast?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Do you cater at venues in the Kent Downs National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about cooking and vehicles, so check with yours. We’ll work to whatever the site needs.
How much will it be?
It depends on numbers, the menu and how long we’re on site. Tell us your date and we’ll send a price.
Is clearing up included?
We bring plates and clear up after service.
Is mains power needed?
Not to cook, because the roaster is gas-fired. Let us know what’s on site.
Can we hire the machine and cook it ourselves?
DIY machine hire is available. We will confirm what comes with it and how to use it.
What about guests who do not eat pork?
There are lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options: spit-roast lamb, rotisserie chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers or a vegan burger or sausage. We don’t offer halal meat.
Can you do gluten-free?
Ask for gluten-free rolls and we will bring them. We’ll give you full allergen information for every dish.

Working with your venue
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so check before you book. We’ll work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.
Planning on behalf of a committee? One clear contact makes everything easier, especially on the day.
Before you choose a spot
The roaster needs space, cover and a safe distance from anything that could catch the heat. Things to check:
- Parking close to the house
- A word with the neighbours
- A gazebo, marquee or room indoors for guests if it rains
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before booking.

What a hog roast costs
We do not use a fixed price list, since every event is different. What matters most:
- How long the roast and service take
- Whether you want china
- Numbers
- Access to the cooking area
Adding lamb, chicken, extra sides or china changes the price, so each one is itemised. A simple menu keeps the cost down.
What to tell us
The more we know, the more accurate the quote. Useful details:
- Dietary requirements
- Which meats and sides you’d like
- The date and time of the event
- Any venue rules
We price every booking individually, because numbers, menu, serving time and travel vary. Tell us about your party for a quote: fill in our quote form.

Catered or do it yourself?
If you’re confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You cook and carve it yourself; we will explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.
The menu, dish by dish
Rotisserie chicken
Chicken from the rotisserie gives people a non-pork choice, turned until the skin is golden.
Crackling
Long, slow roasting turns the skin into crackling, and we break it up so everyone gets a piece.
- Roasted slowly at your venue, outdoors and under cover
- Our chef carves the pork, with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling on the side
- Lamb, chicken and vegetarian options alongside the pork
- Served by our staff at the time you choose, then cleared away
